Introduction into the Polish language
In the early Middle Ages the proto Slavonic tribes left their original lands between the Odra and Dnieper rivers and settled
down in almost entire central, east and south Europe. They reached the Elba in the west, the Volga and Dvina in the east and
the Balkan Peninsula in the south. This expansion resulted in the emergence of three groups of Slavonic languages: west, south and east.

The Polish language started to develop around the 10th century. It was a parallel process to the establishment and development of the
Polish state by Mieszko I, who united number of culturally and linguistically related tribes from the basins of the Vistula and Odra.
After accepting baptism in 966 by Mieszko I, the Polish language also adopted the Latin alphabet, which made it possible to write in
Polish, as until that time the language existed only in its spoken form.
